Apuntes prácticos para una investigación julay: cancioneros, travestis, vedetes y otras ancestres

Wednesdays of sound and body

Free and open activity with limited capacity to 55 people

Language: catalan

We have some old photos, some worn-out magazines, some unused cassette tapes, a walk-man, a record player and a vinyl record. We have songs to sing, play-backs to play with, flyers to shake and fans to wave.

To search for the history of queer copla and transvestism is to rewrite ourselves, to understand memory as practice and to build and care for our chosen family, present and past.

In this performative conference we will try to deal with these things.
